I gave away all but three of my beloved fake outdoor plants this year. (Iiiii know! đ¤Ż) During the baby phase, I could barely load the dishwasher let alone keep vegetation alive. And every time a well-intentioned person would try to tell me how fun it was to take care of a garden, Iâd be like, âk yeah cool but it would also be really fun to shower today.â 𤣠Now the girls are older, though. And while Iâd give anything to hold my tiny babies again, I really appreciate having a bit more autonomy⌠and clean hair. đ Today I spent hours working on our patio âgardenâ while my four-year-old sidekick played make-believe, watched cartoons, snuggled with Noodle and directed me where to put planters. I loved it. I loved working with my hands, turning my mind off, being outside, giving our backyard some TLC, the satisfaction of finishing a task, and chatting with Luce. Real Plants, thereâs no way you would have survived here a few years ago. â ď¸ But glad youâre here now! đą
